Opportunity Summary:
The National Farmworker Jobs Program (NFJP) grant opportunity is a competitive federal funding solicitation issued by the U.S. Department of Labor (DOL), Employment and Training Administration (ETA), Office of Workforce Investment, Division of Adult Services. It supports the operation of the NFJP under Section 167 of the Workforce Investment Act (WIA), which is intended to improve employment and training outcomes for migrant and seasonal farmworkers and, in many cases, their dependents. Because WIA requires DOL to run an open competition on a regular cycle (generally every two years) to choose NFJP grantees, this announcement reflects that recurring nationwide selection process for organizations that will deliver workforce services in designated state service delivery areas.
The funding is structured as a discretionary grant (CFDA 17.264) and does not require cost sharing or matching. The total estimated funding associated with the FY 2011 request is $78,410,000, expected to be distributed across state service delivery areas to run NFJP activities during Program Year (PY) 2011. A key point in the notice is that the competition was conducted in anticipation of the FY 2011 appropriation, meaning awards could be selected through the competitive process, but DOL stated it would not obligate PY 2011 funds unless and until Congress appropriated them. In other words, the application and selection process could move forward, but actual funding depended on the federal budget being enacted.
Eligibility is broad and is not limited to existing NFJP providers. Applicants did not need to be a current or prior WIA Section 167 grantee to apply. Examples of eligible applicants include state agencies, state workforce investment boards, local government agencies, local workforce investment boards, faith-based and community-based organizations, institutions of higher education, and other entities capable of delivering services on a statewide basis. The governing regulations referenced in the announcement (20 CFR 669.200(a), implementing WIA Section 167(b)) emphasize that eligible applicants should demonstrate practical readiness to serve the target population and operate within the workforce system. Specifically, applicants are expected to show an understanding of the employment challenges and barriers faced by eligible migrant and seasonal farmworkers (and their dependents), familiarity with the geographic area they propose to serve, the organizational capacity to administer a diversified set of workforce investment activities effectively, and the ability to function as a One-Stop partner within the broader workforce development network.
The application timeline in this posting was clear and firm. The opportunity was posted on March 16, 2011, and applications were due by May 2, 2011, no later than 4:00 p.m. Eastern Time. The listing was later archived on June 1, 2011, consistent with the close of the competition. Applicants were directed to consult the full announcement on the DOL grants page for complete requirements, service area specifications, and submission instructions. For access issues related to the full announcement, the listed point of contact was Jeannette Flowers, Grants Management Specialist, reachable by phone at 202-693-3322.
